Just an anecdote for you: I do not use rsync over ssh, but I do use
rsyncd. In the case of backing up a Microsoft Exchange server, I have to
back up a single 80GB file that changes daily. I do not have any
problems, and I have tested both backups and restores.

Unfortunately I cannot help you any more than to say that, at least with
rsyncd, I have successfully backed up files seven times larger than that.
